Is it even possible

With the rules and all

The regulations

That we are part of

Living in this universe

If sometimes we feel like

We just

Need some help

And need to get away from

None other than

Ourselves?

 

Staying alive

But still

Being able to get outside

Of our own

And somehow be flown

To anywhere

That we may choose to be –

How likely

Is it?

 

The laws of nature

Seems like

Would prohibit

From any such departure,

At least physically

Although may not necessarily

Mentally.

 

No object is allowed

To be physically

In two different spots

At the same instant

Not even

Momentarily.

They cannot be found

In point A and point B

Simultaneously,

Although

According to quantum mechanics

This law of physics

In certain cases

May deviate

Slightly.

 

Our mind

However

Does not seem to follow

Any such rules

Whatsoever,

As we may be sitting on this planet

And in an instant

Our minds can get

To any other parts of this universe

Regardless

Of their position or distance.

And hence

Our minds give us a vehicle

With which to travel

Outside of our physical body

Which may give us a brake

From whatever

That we may be trying to escape.

 

Pressure from reality

Making things to look ugly

And not so pretty,

Jobs and society

Not treating fairly

Or with dignity and equality.

As humans we may be facing

So many conditions

And may be addressing

So many questions

And may be making

So many decisions

That at times

It may feel overwhelming,

And an escape rout

We may find ourselves

Seeking.

And if we try not to ignore

But instead

Engage and explore

Then some doors

May open

For us to get out

From some of the situations

That was causing the crowd

In our body and in our mind

And thus was leading them

To go south.

 

But how about

Things like

Sadness and depression

Jealousy anger or hatred

These things that affect

Us internally

And causes us to suffer

Inside

And if there is no guide

Or avenue

To deal with such issues

Then we may try to escape

But there may be no road left

For any kind of rescue

Or it may at least

Feel like so.

 

But wait

Another way of thinking

For damaging human traits

Such as

Jealousy anger and hatred

And may be even

For sadness and depression

Would be to

Try to get out

Of the original mold

And try to fold

Ourselves

In a different fashion

Which may allow the regression

Of such behavior and emotions

And put out the internal burnings

That were churning

Our energy and were wasting

Our physical and mental resources.

And thus trying to escape

From our old selves

May sometimes actually bring

Some success.

 

This technique

Could be effective

For many other

Human behavior and traits.

Getting out and escaping

From things

That are not working,

Being bold

And breaking out of the mold,

May be the only effective

Solution that is left

To beat –

And to be able to get out

Of the revolutions

That gives us no solutions

But keeps us

In such

Miserable and undesirable

Orbits.

 

Our best help

Sometimes may be found

Just by getting around

And by escaping

From our usual self

That was not working.
